Chapter 329 Let’s go in
Song Xiyu was so frightened that he was trembling all over. His mind was trying hard to think of something to explain, but he really couldn't think of anything.
"The villain is guilty, the villain is guilty!" he cried, "Please, for the sake of the villain's past loyalty, please spare the villain once."
Meng Changqing said, "I don't like people who can't understand people. I know where you went wrong. I can't afford to waste words with you." After that, he motioned to Cheng Guang to take him down.
Cheng Guang obviously had something to ask, but he still held back. After locking Song Xiyu back, he ran to Meng Changqing and asked, "Why don't you ask him about Zheng Xidong?"
Unexpectedly, Meng Changqing asked: "What are you asking him for?"
"If he wants to marry a young girl at his age, shouldn't he be given a lesson?"
Meng Changqing lowered his head and said in a heavy voice, "You have only listened to Zheng Xidong's side of the story about this matter, and have not listened to her family's side of the story. Moreover, even if it is true, Song Xiyu cannot pay the price.
In this matter, what is fundamentally wrong is me and the world. ”
Cheng Guang didn't understand, "You don't know anything about this matter. We only have this kind of inhuman things in Beishan County. What's wrong with the world? What's wrong with you?"
"Who dares to conclude that this is the only one? It's just that we don't know about it, or the interests and difficulties haven't come to us yet.
The shortcomings accumulated over generations cannot be improved by the new government order. It will take more than ten years to educate and completely replace the place with a new group of people. ”
Cheng Guang listened half-comprehensively and returned to Wen's side.
At this time, Wen's afternoon classes were over and she was taking Zheng Xidong to the Yamen.
Cheng Guang went over and said, "Madam, your Excellency is back." He glanced at Zheng Xidong behind Wen, and then continued, "Song Xiyu has been arrested. Your Excellency has already interrogated him and has not dealt with it for the time being. But when I see your Majesty, I will It looks like you won’t let him go easily.”
Wen Shi nodded. She had raised children for more than ten years, so she naturally knew it.
Zheng Xidong stopped and said to Wen: "Thank you sir for helping me. Since that person has been arrested, I can't disturb you anymore."
Wenshi said: "There is no need to go back in a hurry. After dinner, I will take you to meet the new gentleman."
"Mr. New?"
"Starting from tomorrow, Mr. Xin will teach you. This gentleman was personally invited by the county magistrate to Luojiang. I heard that he has a good academic record and a good heart."
Zheng Xidong, who was about to say goodbye, just followed Wen back to Houya. She didn't want to go back to that house anyway, so she was very happy now that it would be later.
A brother and a sister took different ways home from school today.
Zheng Xichun watched his family follow the female gentleman into the county government office, and then quickly ran home.
When I ran to the door of my house, my clothes were soaked with sweat, my face was red, and sweat was dripping from my hair like rain.
He was panting and holding on to the door of his courtyard. Just as he was about to step in, he heard noises and beatings coming from inside.
Zheng Xichun immediately withdrew his hand and shrank to the side.
"...If you don't get this person back, I wonder how you can live a peaceful life!"
He could hear who's voice was inside. It was the person who came to eat chicken at home yesterday. Zheng Xichun huddled outside the yard and didn't dare to make a sound, but the beatings inside kept coming, and he heard his mother's voice begging for mercy.
Still mustering up the courage, he ran in.
Inside, the grandson of Zheng Jiasheng was being carried. He turned around and saw that this child was coming in. He ignored him and then slapped Zheng Jiasheng.
Zheng Xichun became anxious when he saw that it was his father who was being beaten. He stepped forward and grabbed his grandson's hand, "Don't hit my father, I know where my sister is."
Sun Tzu Xiao threw away Zheng Jiasheng and lifted Zheng Xichun up. Zhou Ya immediately knelt down without saying anything about begging for mercy.
Sun Zi asked, "Where is she?" Zheng Xichun said in a panic, "My sister has gone to the Yamen! She went to class today, and followed her husband into the Yamen after school."
The grandson's heart skipped a beat and his eyes flashed with a fierce look, but then he thought that the yamen had no control over the marriage of men and women. Even if the county magistrate had many hands to take care of it, the most he would do was scold him.
Thinking of this, Sun Tzu was no longer nervous, and ordered Zheng Jiasheng, who fell to the ground, "Go and bring him back, go!"
Zheng Jiasheng was frightened and trembled. He got up and walked outside. Zheng Linsheng also hurriedly followed.
The grandson underestimated the mother and son left in the room and said, "You guys go too."
On Tuesday, Ya pulled Zheng Xichun and ran away, not even caring about the open door.
Anxi New Village is already some distance from the county seat. By the time the Zheng family returns to the county seat, the sun will be setting.
Seeing the officer holding a knife at the main entrance of the county government office, no one in the Zheng family dared to step forward.
Zheng Jiasheng pulled Zheng Xichun over and asked, "Are you sure you saw your sister go in from here?"
Zheng Xichun said honestly: "It's not here, it's the door at the back."
Zheng Linsheng said: "Then let's go through the back door. It's better not to cause a small family matter that the whole Yamen knows about."
"Yes." Zheng Jiasheng has reached this point, and he still says yes.
The family was taken to the west gate by Zheng Xichun, "This is where my sister entered."
The west door was closed, and no one dared to knock.
Zheng Linsheng said: "You are her parents. She ran out. Of course she needs you to find her. Knock on the door." After saying that, he took a step back.
How they suffered mentally and physically ached, they all deserved it.
Zheng Jiasheng knocked on the door, and soon someone answered the door. He was a yamen servant. He only opened the door halfway and asked, "What do you want?"
Zheng Jiasheng stammered: "I came... to find my daughter, she... she went in with the school lady."
This yamen servant was none other than Cheng Guang, who was guarding the gate of the yamen.
Cheng Guang knew they were Zheng Xidong's family just by looking at their appearance without Zheng Jiasheng opening his mouth. But looking at their pitiful appearance now, he felt ridiculous and deliberately pretended not to know their purpose.
"Your daughter? Why is she in the Yamen?" Cheng Guang asked.
"I..." Zheng Jiasheng rubbed the hem of his clothes with both hands, not knowing how to reply.
Cheng Guang scolded: "None of the four of you can reply, but you are deliberately looking for trouble!" After saying that, he closed the door directly.
The Zheng family was so frightened that they froze at the door, unable to say a word.
But soon, the west door opened again, and a dozen government officials with swords rushed out, pushed them to the side, and ran quickly behind them.
When Cheng Guang was talking just now, he saw Sun Tzu Xiao peeking his head out not far away. He immediately went back to report the news and rushed out with his people to hold Sun Tzu Xiao down.
When Zheng Linsheng saw this scene and saw who was being captured, he was so frightened that he turned around and wanted to run away.
But with more than a dozen government officials surrounding them, where could they go?
"Since we are here to find someone, let's go in." Cheng Guang said.
Zheng Linsheng apologized and smiled: "I won't go, I'm not from his family."
"You are not a member of his family, are you a spy of the Yan State?" Cheng Guang pushed hard behind him, "Go in!"
